I just don't think a game setting should be subordinate to cheesy novels (and you have to admit some of those novels just plain suck).Other than that I think FR is okay. Defintely not a place I want to play a multiyear campaign in (No place other than a homebrew is suitable for such IMHO). But I think FR is great for a few month midsized story arc. FR is good because its something everyone has at least passing familarity with, so its often a fall back compromise setting of sorts.One minor pet peeve of mine is the rabid, unbathed FR fanboys munchkins. It is probably just me, but I seem to run into far too many who love to tell me about their Drow Rangers that are so much better than Drizzit.But other than the whole $40 for the campaign setting, I'd love to play a short game or two in FR.</blockquote>
